Anti-Communists

Anti-Jihad Bloggers

Gates of Vienna
This blog, as far as I am concerned is about the only REAL Anti-Jihad Blog out there. I disagree with their position on Israel. But, they do still fight the fight and have not sold out, unlike some.

Centrists

Althouse
Ann Althouse is a lawyer from Madison Wisconsin – Like me, Ann was once a liberal Democrat. She switched like I did, long ago. She is not blind follower of either party. But, her politics has changed over the years. She makes for good reading

The Reaganite Republican
I happen to like this blog quite a bit. I have spoken with this blogger and I found to be a very nice man. He is overseas; but he does believe as the gipper did. For that he is included here.

Wake Up America
A Conservative, Alt-News Blog ran by Susan Duclos who also writes at Before It’s News — Susan is a bit into the conspiracy stuff, but she, like myself is a proud American. This is why she is included here

True Christian Sites

IconBusters
This is a website of a reformed Christian from California. Now, I get it, he is a Calvinist. But, he is very much into exposing the Papacy for what it truly is. For that he is included here.

Gaza City (CNN) — International pressure mounted Monday for an end to the Israeli-Palestinian violence that has left dozens dead and hundreds wounded, with the United Nations chief flying to the region to personally appeal for a cease-fire.

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon’s call for a truce came on the heels of the single deadliest attack — an Israeli airstrike that killed a family of 10 — in the conflict that began with militant rocket attacks from Gaza that saw Israel respond with an aerial offensive.

“This must stop,” Ban said late Sunday. He called on both sides to cooperate with Egyptian-led effort to broker a cease-fire.

“…I am heading to the region to appeal personally for ending the violence and contribute to ongoing efforts to that end.”

Here is the reason Hamas is firing the rockets, it is over money:

An Israeli special envoy was in Egypt for cease-fire talks Monday, the Egyptian government said, and a steady stream of Arab League, U.N. and European diplomats were arriving in the region to promote a cease-fire.

Hamas is putting conditions on any truce offer. In addition to an end the airstrikes, senior Palestinian negotiator Nabil Sha’ath said Hamas is demanding the end to Israel’s long blockade of Gaza.

The territory has been under a crippling economic embargo since Hamas won control of the territory from the Fatah-led Palestinian Authority, which controls the West Bank.

Hamas also wants Israel to stop targeting the leadership of Palestinian factions and to expand the waters Palestinian fishermen are allowed to trawl from three miles offshore to 30, said Sha’ath, who is also a Fatah leader.

“The attempt is to reach a real stable situation. That’s why they are asking for commitment on Israeli typical aggression and periodic incursions and constant shooting and firing at the fishermen in the sea,” he said.

Israel, meanwhile, has demanded an end to the rocket attacks.

If Israel is wise, they will say, “no conditions” and tell Hamas to either stop the rocket attacks or the war continues. This is how this little conflict should end. But, if I know Israel and its idiotic leadership. They will cave to the demands. You watch and see.
